Oregon - US Mail Stage Coach Circa 1915

US Mail Stage at High Tide on the Oregon Coast, circa 1915

The Mail must get thought, circa 1915
These brave and persistent mail carriers from the past race the surging tide to make their appointed rounds. Up until the early 1930's the road systems along the Oregon Coast consisted of Indian trails and a few very muddy roads. So the vast stretches of sandy beach along the Oregon Coast served as roads for all manner of transpiration north and south.

We drove all over the Oregon Coast today! I saw elk, sea lions, ate Dungeness Crab and fish. What a day!
